Middle Schools in Brevard

Summary:

The Brevard County middle school system consists of 11 schools, both public and public magnet, serving grades 7-8 with student populations ranging from 355 to 1,060. The data reveals a diverse landscape, with some standout high-performing schools and others struggling to achieve strong academic results.

Among the top-performing schools are Delaura Middle School, which consistently ranks among the best in Florida with exceptional test scores and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate. Herbert C. Hoover Middle School and Thomas Jefferson Middle School also stand out as high-performing, with strong test scores and lower rates of economic disadvantage among their student populations.

However, the data also reveals some concerning trends across the Brevard middle school system, such as a uniformly high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4% and a wide range in student proficiency levels. The data suggests a correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and its academic performance, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this relationship. Additionally, the data shows that higher per-student spending does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and a deeper understanding of the factors driving student success in this region.
